Additional Information

Why Don't We Need a Cookie Banner?

Since we only use essential cookies that are strictly necessary for our website to function, we are not required to display a cookie consent banner under GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy regulations. Essential cookies are exempt from consent requirements because they are necessary to provide the service you've requested.

Future Changes

If we decide to implement any of the following, we will update this policy and add a cookie consent banner:

  • Analytics tools (like Google Analytics)
  • Marketing or advertising cookies
  • Social media integration with tracking
  • Any other non-essential tracking technologies

When and if we make these changes, you will have full control over these cookies through a consent management system that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
